The Somogyi effect is mechanistically distinct from the dawn phenomenon. The Somogyi effect affects type 1 diabetics rather than everyone.

The Somogyi effect can produce dramatic glucose spikes because endogenous insulin is absent to dampen the counter-regulatory response. Stabilizing blood glucose and relying more on fat and ketones may mitigate the Somogyi effect.
